The Kevorka, or "lure of the animal", was an attribute which rendered one irresistable to women according to Baltic mythology, probably originating in Latvia. Its eastern variant, the Kevorka Polonaise (literally, "Polish Kevorka") is much the same as its Baltic neighbor; however, it is reputedly accompanied by the scent of saddle-leather and borscht.

Lovers of freedom and open lands upon which to graze, those afflicted with the Kevorka Polonaise are also historically known as great lovers. However, their powers are almost exclusively limited to smuglianki.
